Best Beach Cottage

This is a lovely little cottage almost directly on the beach. The view from the kitchen table was my favorite, with second place being the view from the patio. The home is just right for a couple. The neighbor was lovely and we could walk to the local farmer's market. We will most definitely come back to stay again.

Best location ever!

We fell in love with this charming home. It is small, but that is perfect for our small family. The deck overlooks the beach and we made a fire each night and enjoyed being in such a great location. The views from the kitchen table are amazing. The bed was comfortable (almost never is when traveling), so that was a perk. We walked to the Crows Nest for dinner and it was SO delicious. We plan to return! Love.. love..love!

Perfect location

Children and grandchildren rented larger home a few blocks away. This was a perfect place for grandma and granddad to get away from the crew, listen to to the waves and sleep soundly. Great access to beach
